Finally, here it is, the 3rd Supply Chain Risk Management Seminar 2011 to be held in Barcelona, Spain, 26-27th October this year. Ever since I first blogged about the very first seminar in 2008, I have eagerly awaited the annual conference announcements, so that I could promote it here on husdal.com. This year’s program is still in the making but some topics and speakers are already out. With Supply cost and performance risk as a result of deteriorating freight transportation infrastructure as one of the topics, a topic that is very close to my heart, it looks like a seminar I would really like to attend. But there are a lot more reasons for going to Barcelona this year than just that one topic.
Confirmed speakers so far:
- Supply Chain Council – European Chair (Event Chairman)
- Avnet – VP EMEA, Supply Chain
- Philips – CFO, Philips Supply
- Nokia – Director Corporate Security CEMEA & Global Supply Chain Security
- Johnson & Johnson – Procurement Director
- Electrolux – Demand Flow Director (tbc)
